Few Questions I want To Know!

[pritchardavid]

Me and my stepdad are thinking about upgrading to the vVIP package from virgin currenlly have:

M BB
XL Phone
M TV

If we upgrade will we recieve the full 20mb speed?

We have the Mototola Surfboard B5100, will this have to be upgraded? it a good three years old! I think

What is the best Wireless N Routor you can get (My laptop has built in Intel 4965AGN Wirless Card, might has will get the best of it!) I am using the Belkin 125 High Speed With Intergrated Print Server at the moment, not that im getting that speed, only getting 54G, I believe you need a beling Wirless Adaptor for that, and there has never been any firmeware updates for that!

SO what is the best Wireless N routor to get at the moment?

Looking at the following, suggest if there are better

How much would the install cost for the VIP Package?

How will VM get the cable to my backroom bedroom, will the cable is at the front? Will they throw it over the roof? Or will they clip it onto the skirting borad going up the stairs? Or what other ways would they do that?

My dad is think about having a second V+ box instead of standard free one you get with the package, is this possible, would it just cost the £75 install that it would cost normally, Without any more fees?

But if it does think about if you was to buy a XL TV package it dont cost you more a mouth other than the install which you have to pay for, so by right they should not charge more for having 2 V+ boxes, am I right?

If that does cost to you think we can get a good deal we them, i.e
We will have this package if you let us have a set-top V+ box with no extra monthly fee and free NASN (Mum & Stepdad wants it for NHL Hockey, they love it)


Thanks In Advance

You will need the modem replaced for sure, the rest I am not to sure. Best bet is just to call VM and ask.

The VIP pack with two V+ boxes is £30 install and then £95 per month. They would do everything apart from swap the modem as the SB5100 is actually capable of doing 20Mbit

Any more answers to my questions Please Post

Thats why
He has TV, Phone and BB, he is not taking any more services, just upgrading ones which is not applicable.

You could go for VIP+Mobile, that would work. Alternativly (but I do not recommend this), cancel your services and resubscribe.

Why would he need to do that, I quick call to Disconnections and they will put the package on but don't forget it comes with a new 12 month contract now.

Well, since I have not needed to call Virgin in a LONG time, I dont know what its like :P

Doesnt everything come with 12m now? Lets hope that the milkman doesnt have it! (Someone will correct me, I dont have a milkman)

HERE is a list of the modems that can and can't do 20Mbit.

And that deal ends on Monday.

Customer Care might be able to do it for roughly the same amount if you ask them nicely enough
